Garden near Petersfield open in support of NGS charities

A one-acre plot with areas styled with cottage garden in the South Downs National Park with views of the Downs.

Mostly developed over the last 17 years, the garden has distinct areas which include a cottage garden with roses and herbaceous borders, a natural pond, open lawns with mini silver birch woodland and shrubberies, a productive vegetable terrace with espalier apples, a shady vine covered pergola under planted with ferns and shade lovers and a prairie border established in 2015. There are various levels often with seating to take in the surroundings. There are hens in the orchard corner and established fruit trees. We always have a mouth-watering array of home-made cakes and biscuits. The only problem is which one to choose. This year we are also hosting a small art exhibition.

Plants for sale in aid of Home-Start Butser. Refreshments in aid of Motor Neurone Disease Association.
